GREEK LOANS. TO THE EDITOR OF inf., TIMES. Sir--I beg the favour of your , allowing me to make your widely-extended journal the medium of explaining the statement of Mr. Luriottis, contained in yotir. Mier of this day, respecting the 7,500 t. The facts with regard to this sum are, that Mr. Orlando brought me an circler, s i gne d by himself and Mr. biriottisolesiring me to 'sct..rl by the bearer 7,500/., and charge it to the account of the Greek Government. Ml'. Orlando, upon-presenting: this order, instead of taking the money, desired me to pli4ce it to his account, which was accordingly done. Soon after this transaction Messrs. Orlando and Luriottis called at my counting-house and had a conversation between them selves tis to the appropriation of this money, Mr. Luriottii , insisting that Mr. Zaimis should have 1,2001., from which Mr. Orlando dissented ; but there was no discussion as to Mr. Orlando's right to the 7,5004, except as far as regarded 1,2001. of the sum. I head nothing more upon the subject, and paid monks from this fund upon Mr. Orlando's account, and gave him letters of credit upon the correspondents of any house on the Continent. The 1,2001. still remains in my hands, subject to the question whether it is the property of Mr, aimis or Mr. Orlando. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, Finobury-circus, Nov. 13. P. RAW. General LaDemand has published the following contra diction of the statement made by the Greek Committee in London, that he received the 4iltu of 12,000/.: It having been published in several of the Joiirnals of this city that a sum of 12,000/. has been allowed to Geiwral Lineman(' by the Greek Committie, General LaHeliumd takes this opportunity to declare that the said statement is false. General Lalletitand will not answer the personal reflections, and injurious remarks which, in some Journals; have accompanied the statements. : He hives to the delicacy of his situation, and to his character, to wait for the publications on the subject of the Greek ships, which have been promised to the American public. He will then make such remarks as may be requisite ; and the truth, which different documents shall dieelose, will be a full answer to alt calumnies. New York, Oct. IS. CHAS. LALLEMAND. IRELAND. BANK DIRECTORS. It is generally known thtt St question has been.ilebatell whether Catholics were,, tinder the 'existing laws, eligible as Bank Directors, o .'iul that the question' had been laid before the law oitters for their opinion. The questitA i o s at issue were, Ist, whether Catholics were eligib;,e, as Bank Directors? 2d, what oaths 'they are required to take ?" Opinions have been given upon this case by the law oFicers, all agreeing that Catholics were in themselves eligible, but a difference has appeared as to the oath naces sary to qualify, and upon this difference rests, the prac tical eligibility of the Catholics to the situation, whether the oath be one they can or cannot take, The Attorney-General and Mr. Sergeant Lloyd agree, that in order to qualify, it is not necessary to take the oath which operates as a virtual exclusion. The Solicitor-Ge neral, Sergeants Lefroy and _Goold, being of opinion that 1 " le is; • ' The Bank Charter in 1783 says,' that taking the oath shall be necessary in order to 'qualify. h 1793, the 7th section of the Catholic Relief Bill provides, that a Catholic may, hold any Mike of trust in tiny corporation except Tri nity College, without taking the oaths, " any law statute by-law notwithstanding." These expressions are taken by the Attorney-General as more strongly declaratory of the, intention of the Legisla ture not to render it imperative for the Catholics, in order to qualify as Bank Directors, to take oaths which are con trary to their belief,- while the other law authorities al hided to think otherwise. We are not versed in legal quibbling, but it appearm to ns a matter of plain common liense . that in the Act of 1793 the LetiWature intended to hiapense with the dis. • ?untying milli', in reference in ail Corporation 4 txrept Priniell College. and that the words of the Act, lire folly expressive of that intention. The words, " any law, statute, or by-law, notwithstand ing," which appears to the Attorney-General and Sergeant Lloyd to have been intended to remove the impediment to the. Directorship of the Baqk for Catholics, is the very sentence_to which_ the other lLaw Officers refer, as con- firming the 'necessity of taking the oaths which operates as a real disqualification. They rely upon the original clause in" the Charter of 1783, as if the King, who granted the Charter, had not power, as one estate of the realm, to Concur with the legislature in abrogating a particular clause in it, and as if the Hank would not have been ex cepted as well as Trinity College, if it was intended to make it at exception, —.Dublin Patriot. AFFAIR OF HONOUR. This morning a meeting took place in the Park, between Colonel Westenra, seconded by Captain Lewis, and Lieu tenant Jackson, late of the Downshire Militia, attended by Captain Hamilton, of the same regiment. At the first fire Lieutenant, Jackson was wounded in the knee, when the Itezties separated without any explanation. `The above unpleasant affair and accident is the re sult of an article which appeared some time since in the Evening Mail, written in the usual style of buf foonery congenial to that print, but in its nature ma lignant., and ealeulaled to produce the unpleasant re sink which it hat just done, and for which tendency •we then condemned it. The article in the Mail stated, that apologies harp been made by some Geri tlemen in Monaghan, friends of Lord Rossmore, to others, friends of Col. Leslie. This caused a denial from Lord Roitamore of the' statement, which drew upon his Lordship, from the Mail, observations upon which he grounded a prosecution for libel. To avert this conse quence, the Mail published an apology, which stated, that it was mistaken in supposing there had been apolo gies. Lieut. Jackson, the friend of one of the parties, was induced, in consequence, to write a letter, insinu ating that an apology had been made. This produced from Col, Westenra, the friend of the gentleman alluded to, a positive denial of the statement—which terminated in the unpleasant occurrence of this morning. Here is a ease of mischief affecting individuals, but the mischief slorie.in a, more extended way to society by that same Net,. the M,,il, is incalculable, and requires all the Oren* of Lite Press to counteract it.—.

Saw John eithaiu taken out of the water and assisted in getkitl); him on board the Gridynni, and altetivaidt hi get:v tmg him on board the Uniiid Kingdom. lle appeared to be dcad at the tine. Witness supposes he was kill ed by th'e explosion. Did not see where he had re ritiVed any injury. Assisted in removing the body ? as well as that of Mellins, to the Old Ferry-boat landing, in the evening of the same day. Mellins was taken on board the Graham at Grimsby. He had left the United Kingdom the day before, with the intention of going to Scarborough. Had never seen Cundill before. Does not know how Mellins came by his death. George Stephenson, assistant-engineer, was not on board the Graham at the time the accident happened. Went on board the United Kingdom soon after they ar rived alongside. Has seen the boiler since the explosion. The top was opened right across, like folding doors. Did not notice • the thickness. Never thought it unu sually thin. The vessel is now lying in RedclitTe chan ge]. If it had been a good boiler, it certainly would not have exploded. Jacob Urwin, engineer of the Graham, took the com mand of the engine, and stopped, it on coming alongside the United Kingdom. The weight was removed from the 2afety-valve by the boy, on witness's direction, before the engine ewes stopped. The steam was then escaping in the usual manner, as far as he could observe. Witness con sidered all safe, and then went on board the United King dote, but did not stop a minute. Witness hardly knows whether he was on board or not, the time was so short. He certainly did not stay. After the explosion, witness only saw one person in the water, who belonged to the United _kingdom. Witness .had been engineer of the Graham eighteen months. He had accidents a little be fore, by this boiler. It has given way more than once.,--- Has been brought up among . steam-engines. Did every thing in his power before leaving the vessel to prevent ac cidents. From the first has never considered this boiler a good one. Has represented to the owners that it was de fective: He told them the state it was in, and left the rest to their judgment. The first day he joined the vessel, the boiler had to be repaired. He then told, them it was not safe. Did not consider it safe even after it was repaired. He took 2016. of weight from the safety-valve, not thinking the boiler strong enough. The full weight, when he came, was 561 b. and he diminished it 201 b., and it has remained 361 b. ever since. Considering the boiler then safer, but always had a dread upon him. 361 b. is a very light pressure. If it had been a good boiler, it would have borne the 561 b. and a great deal more. Was at Selby when the boiler was lately repaired. It is some months since new boilers were ordered.' The - owners knew the boiler was insecure soon after he went. Mr: Clay was the agent and acting owner. Witness told him the boiler 'was in different, very soon after he first went. . Always thought the boiler unsafe ; and in consequence of his representation he had reason to think new boilers were ordered. This boiler was not of the proper thickness, but very light. Had a gauge on ;board, but did not use it, as the safety-valve was a better gauge. Knows no other cause for the ex plosion but the unsoundness and weakness the boiler. The plates varied from an eighth to a sixteenth in thickness. When he complained, Mr. Clay said he should have new boilers as soon as possible, and witness expected them about Christmas. Cannot say whether this was some months 'ago. He said so a considerable time since, and a short time since. Does not know the names of the owners, except Mr. Keddey and Mr. Clay. If he had been beside the engine at the time of the accident, he could not have done more than he had done. As none of the witnesses could state who were pro lrietors of the Graham, and as the Jury were desirous , of laving the testimony of some of the passengers on board 'bat vessel, the Coroner adjourned the inquest till this day (Friday.) Hull Advertiser Office, Four, P.m., Saturday. The Coroner's Inquest was resumed at eleven o'clock this morning. The Jury retired a little after twci and have this moment returned a verdict of manslaughter against Jacob Urwin , _ the engineer of the Graham, and Richard Clay, jun.,the acting agent and part owner of the Graham. .

ALARMING AND DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.--Sun... day morning, about three o'elock, the whole neighbourhood of the Borough was thrown into alarm, in consequence of a fire being discovered at the St. George's Coffee-Rooms, 46, Blackman-street. The inmates of that, and the adjoining houses, were quickly aroused to a sense of their perilous situation, and endeavoured to effect a retreat, but the flames having obtained a firm hold of the lower part of the coffee-house, its inhabitants, principally females, were obliged to make their way to the roof, from whence, with one unfortunate, exception, they reached a place of safety. ~ A young woman, named Barrett, a servant is the house, having, in her hurry, lost her foot hold, was precipitated into the street, from whence she was immediately removed to the Hospital. An immense number of engines arrived on the spot, in quick suecee sion, but from the length of time occupied in procuring water from the Southwark water•,works, the engine of which was not at work, it was considerably after four o'clock before one of them could commence playing, during the whole of which time the fire was gaining ground. Water being at length procured, the firemen commenced, and while eight or nine were playing on the front of the burning mass, others ranged themselves in the rear, to protect an immense range of stabling belonging to Mr. Lamb. About five o'clock the roofing of three houses, No. 41$, 46, and 47, fell in with a tremendous crash. To the circumatauce•af there being no Party walls, and tht interior olthe houses principally of wood, may il he attributed the extent of the damage sustained. About 1 , : t, 1t-past six o'clock the fire was completely subdued, having de .l,4;tuled, and damaged, in its destructive career, no less than six r, mutual, and i col a rno r t i n h: house.s of Mr. White, glover; the St. George's at w hi ch it commenced ; and the premises of Messrs. ru i ns ; 4 , 1 ,d theher, are reduced to a heap of smoking premise; house, of Mr•.

Zbt *llll. LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 14, M 6. Parliament meeti to-day, but the proceedings dur ing this week will be confined to the swearing in the Members, the electing a Speaker of the House of Commons, and other preliminary business. The Ses sion will not be opened till Monday next, when it is understood to be his MAJESTY'S gracious intention to meet the new Parliament in person. We trust we may he excused in availing ourselves of this opportunity of assuring our Readers, that we have made arrangements for giving the fullest and most correct Report of the proceedings of both Houses of Parliament during:the - Session ; hut that While such is our intention, we shall not in any degree relax our exertions to render our Journal, in other respects, worthy of public patronage. We shall endeavour to maintain the feature which we have so exclusively possessed for some months, of giving, in addition . to the news of the day, correct re. ports of the proceedings in all the Courts of Law, and at the several Police Offices, until a late hour of the afternoon; and encouraged by the approbation of the public, as evinced by the fact of our Sale being nearly doubled, since the property of the Paper came into our hands, we shall spare neither labour nor expence to render it superior in every department of intelligence. The Paris Papers of Saturday and the Etoile of Sunday morning reached us last night, but they are less than usually interesting. Of political intelligence thry are entirely destitute. A tremendous fire took place. in Lyons on the night of the '7th inst. which occasioned great damage in that city. It broke out in a street, near the barracks of La Charit6, which were entirely consumed; the stables next caught fire, and a strong north-west . wind having carried the flamer over to the other side of the river, the safety of the whole city was endangered.— The conflagration continued to spread for some hours, notwithstanding thtexertions of the whole population, who, without distinction of rank, or sex, laboured at the pumps to subdue-the fire. It was tot got under until the morning of the,Bth, by which time an immense space presented nothing but a heap of ashes. The trial of M. OtiVRARD terminated on Saturday, but judgment was postponed for a week. French Funds remain about the same.

From despatches, received to-day, the Major command ing the battalion of Cacadores, No. 7, writes from Villa Real, the 22d inst., that the battalion mentioned on the 21st abandoned its officers, who were ill-treated, and led by the chief surgeon, quitted Villa Real and the environs, and took the road to Spain. All the officers behaved with the most laudable spirit and firmness, and none accompa nied the battalion ; they retired with their Commander to Villa Real, where they have collected twelve serjeants, musicians, Sze., and 32 privates, who have remained faithful. The number of those who have deserted is 210. The General in Traz-os-Montes writes from Chaves, on the 2lst, that he hears that in part of that province public tranquillity has not been disturbed. The accounts received from Spain agree in stating that the rebels of Verim retreated with the Marquis de Chaves, to Lugo; and in the howlers of Braganza it is confidently affirmed that no Portuguese are admitted into Spain without legal passports from the authorities. The despatches from Beira Alta, and the district of Oporto, are of the 23ctand 24th. Notwithstanding the rebel lion of the Cacadores; No. 7, tranquillity was preserved.
